Question

A particle of mass m moving with velocity u makes an elastic one dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass m. They are in contact for a short time T. Their force of interaction increases from zero to F0 linearly in time T2 and decreases linearly to zero in further time T2 (shown in figure).
The magnitude of F0 is :

Solution

The correct option is B 2mu/T
In an elastic one-dimensional collision, particle rebounds with the same speed in opposite direction.
So, change in momentum = 2 mu
But, impulse = F×T = Change in momentum
F0×T=2mu
or F0=2muT
